I'm looking for one as well. Derek Rose do have some nice robes, but most of them start at size medium, which would be equivalent to a tent for a tall and skinny guy like myself. Do any of you know where I could find something nice and appropriately sized? Wool or cashmere is preferred. Price should not be more than £250.

I have a RL bathrobe, and I really like it. The only problem is that it's cotton, so I feel the need to iron the lapels to achieve the desired look. I don't know where to find a wool or cashmere robe. It is never needed in Florida.

are you looking for a bath robe (in terry towel material) or something in the dressing gown/ robe department (i.e. cashmere or wool)?

If you're looking for a good bathrobe, the best I've owned so far is from Pottery Barn. Really thick cotton terry cloth, heavy in weight, etc. mine is sandalwood and it's as close to perfect as I've seen.

If you're looking for something in the dressing robe dept, ralph lauren, paul stuart, or derek rose all look good to me-- unless you want to spend much more on the rolls royce (search Daniel Hanson)

if you're a trad, this one might be up your alley:
